Oh I wish I were a soldier, I’d be all that I can
Or get wrapped in a flag ’round my body bag, either way I’m still the man
I could fly a big jet fighter, or I’d pimp out my new tank
And get away from this desk yeah I’d be the best, and you’d all know who to thank

Chorus

Oh why, can’t I have a song to praise my name
Is it too much to ask for giving just more of the same?


Oh I wish I were a cop you know, those guys are pretty cool
I’d chase down thieves, stop some robberies, while I’m breaking all the rules
I would be the grizzled veteran, there’s my rookie partner Jane
We’d solve some crimes and save some lives, plus I love those chocolate glazed

Oh I wish I were a doctor, I’d cure every disease
Then have some fun in the on-call room like they do on the TV
I could be a firefighter, or a secret agent man
But I have to write a memo, it’s due by 5PM
